Proceeding contribution from David Ruffley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

A June Department for Work and Pensions consultation report confirms that existing claimants will be migrated to the new allowance ““in time””, and ““as resources allow””. That seems unfair to many outside bodies, so will the Secretary of State publish a date by which existing claimants will be able to access support under his new regime? Is he prepared to do that?
